Abstract

Nineteen solvent extracts from seven Sri Lankan plants were examined for nematicidal activity against the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Extracts of Allophyhu cobbe, Lepisanthes tetraphylla (Sapindaceae), Sarcococca zeylanica (Buxaceae) and Hedyotis lawsoniae (Rubiaceae) have shown significant nematicidal activity.
